I would only go bird watching if I knew I was guaranteed to see a bald eagle catch a beaver in its talons and eat it or have a really cool fight or something. Otherwise, boring. I see birds all the time and it's not that big of a deal. In fact, sometimes in the late fall we have thousands of black crows (or something like that, I guess only bird watchers would know their real names) that fly over our house. So that is my bird watching for the year.
